As camera bumps grow bigger, is it time to revisit the balanced design of the Nexus 6P?

https://i.imgur.com/v4Fv4Aj.jpg

The huge camera bumps on modern phones, the Samsung S20 line especially, seem so cumbersome.

I'd like to see manufacturers looking again at the full width camera bump design of the Nexus 6P. It gives space for plenty of cameras and other kit, while allowing you to use your phone flat on a table without rocking....

What are the benefits of MagSafe for a mobile device and how can Android phones benefit from them?

With the release of the new iPhones, a lot people have talked about the addition of MagSafe. As a Layman, can someone please explain how it is beneficial to mobile phones in general?

From my understanding, it is a magnetic wireless charger; and the use case given is that it lets people use their phone while it wirelessly charges. Maybe I am missing something but that's what a regular wired charger does right? Let's you use while charging through a cable attached to the phone.

It just seems li...

The camera mechanism is nothing less of innovati...

Can we appreciate how well-designed YouTube Music is?

(Edit: apparently not)

I know this sub has a lot of negative feelings toward YT music, but I've been using it recently and it's really surprised me how well-designed it is. I feel like it was designed to be super smooth from the ground up: From the gestures and animations (swiping up/down on the currently track is a favorite of mine) to the colors (YTM's pastel colors work really well with both the album art and the rest of the UI) to the design (Classic Material Design but with AMOLED black--*...

PSA: YouTube mobile's 480p streaming limit seems to be gone now.

This happened a few days ago, I have also checked with some of my devices and my friends' devices as well, the 480p video quality limit seems to be gone now, both on YouTube Android app and mobile website.

All the resolutions seem to be available now including 720p60 and 1080p60. I don't know if the resolution was limited in other countries as well but in India it seems to be gone now. I just thought I'd let everyone know since it was frustrating for a lot of people....
